Kendig 2015, 28" tall, 6", season M, dormant foliage, tetraploid, 3 way branching with 16 buds. Very fragrant yellow self with pleated and folded edges. On an ordinary bloom day it is great, on really nice days the flower form is spectacular. ( Amish Linen x Yellow Pages)

Kendig 2014, 26" tall, 4", season M, SEV foliage, tetraploid, 5 way branching and 30 buds. Dark coral flower with near black eye and edge. Black Ops has lots of buds and the branches are widely spaced to facilitate flower opening. This probably is a sib to Black Heart with better branching and a more complete edge. The black is not as black as Black Heart. Very unusual.

Kendig 2017 height 32" bloom 4 1/2" season M SEV, tetraploid, 5 branches with 30+ buds. Flower is a very green shade of yellow. The reason to grow Build Me Up Buttercup is for the fantastic scape and branching and buds. A great garden performer. The song, by the way, was released in 1968 by the Foundations.

Kendig 2008, 53" tall, season Mid-late, dormant foliage, tetraploid. This flower is a clear colored but unremarkable 3.5" yellow flower that blooms on a 53" tall scape. With 40+ buds on 7-way branching it is great garden performer and is much appreciated by knowledgeable gardeners. Many people saw this plant as a fantastic clump in the Sterrett garden in 2017. Truly a great garden performer.

Kendig 2015, 32" tall, 6", season EM, dormant foliage, tetraploid, 3 way branching 20 buds. Reblooms. Pink flower with orange-gold edge has been an obvious introduction since its first bloom. The combination of the gold edge over the pink flower often appears as an orange edge. My observation notes on this flower over the past five years alternate between describing the edge as gold or orange.

Kendig 2917 height 26" bloom 4 3/4", season EM Dormant ReBloom tetraploid. Pale yellow flower with red eye and edge. Red edge is complete on the petals but is especially wide at the corner of the petals. I have not seen these corners on other daylilies and the look is unique.

Kendig 2013, 30" tall, 6", season M, dormant foliage, fragrant , tetraploid, 20 buds on 4 branches. Dark rose color, with very full and symmetrical form. Cynthia Maryott suggested this color was similar to the jewelry stone Tormaline, but as I investigated I learned that Tormaline is actually 14 different crystals, and the flower most resembled the color of the mineral Elbaite. And Echo because this plant will send up a second set of rebloom scapes before the first set is complete. This provides a long bloom season. Slightly darker red eye. (Sockeye Sunrise x Bella Sera)

Kendig 2010, 40” tall, tetraploid. 6” near white flower has dramatic purple edge with hooks and knobs. My entire Pirate series has purple edges but this edge is bold and has great contrast with the flower and finally we are getting some height into the purple edges. 3 way branching, 18 buds. (Red Menace x Red Storm Rising)

Kendig 2019, 38" tall, 6" bloom, TET, Midseason bloom, 5 branches, 30 buds, dormant. White flower opens slowly and presents the old fashioned trumpet form. On a fully rigged 3 masted sailing ship the Moonsail is the topmost sail. And so this flower waves proudly on straight, tall scapes with excellent branching. This is a white flower that will make an excellent white showing in a large established clump or mass planting because of its color and flower display. Sloop Clearwater x The Snow Moon

Kendig 2014, 26" tall, 6", season M, SEV foliage, tetraploid, fragrant, 16 buds and rebloom which provides long bloom season. Flower color is near white (pale yellow) with wide petals and excellent red color on the eye and petal edges. While many of my red edge flowers have been recurved, this flower opens flat and shows off its complete red edge. This is my most used parent because its flat opening habit better presents the wonderful edge. In my seedling field of many red edges, this flower is an eye magnet. Parents are two of my red edge unintroduced seedlings, 06-27 x 06-24.

Kendig 2013, 36" tall, 5.5", season M, SEV foliage, tetraploid, fragrant, 5 way branching, 30-40 buds. Red flower with contrasting edge of light pink. The extent of the light pink edge grows dramatically depending on weather conditions (heat) as seen in the second photograph. A nice full flower with pink edge on an ordinary day can become a dramatic flower with wide pink edge, and accentuated pink midrib "pinstripe" extending through the dark red eye. (Chaotic Symmetry x Key To My Heart)

Kendig 2013, 36" tall, 4.5", season M, dormant foliage, very fragrant, tetraploid, 32 buds on 5 well spaced branches. Red eye and red edge are beautiful and clear red color. The flower is near white which provides an outstanding contrast. Often multiple flowers will open on the same scape. This is my best red edge on "white" flower to date and my most used parent in 2013. Pod and pollen fertile. (Red Menace x Red State)

Kendig, 2019, 28" tall,5" flower, TET, Midseason Bloom, 3 Branches and 18 buds, Dormant. Stripe color pattern with pale pink appearing beneath broken red color. Fertile both ways and sets pods easily. Midseason bloom can move striped flowers onto the schedule of garden tours and flower shows. This plant will be, in my opinion, an important contribution to the development of striped flowers. Explosion In The Paint Factory x Strawberry Milkyway
I have had many more requests for Rich Howard (seedling 16-08) than I have plants available. In August 2019 I will offer this plant on the Lily Auction for delivery in early September. Plant is named, of course, for the Connecticut daylily hybridizer Rich Howard, who brought us the excellent and important plant, Explosion In The Paint Factory.

Kendig 2015, 26" tall, 5", season M, SEV foliage, tetraploid, 3 way branching and 12 buds but rebloom extends it's blooming season. Pink flower with red eye and the widest (1/2") red edge I have offered in my line of red edge introductions. The wide edge and its color contrast with the flower attracts visitors to this flower.

Kendig 2014, 36" tall, 5 1/2", season M, dormant foliage, tetraploid, 4 branches and 18 buds, fragrant. This is a great garden performer. Flowers are consistent, clean, and make a great show in the garden. Lavender flower with purple eye and a double edge of purple and gold. Gold edge has hooks and horns. Flower reminded me of a third world dictator with a uniform adorned in gold medals. (unknown x Kendig seedling 06-20)

Kendig 2006, 28" tall, mid-season, dormant, tetraploid. Huge 7" flowers with big crab claw buds.This has been my largest selling introduction each year since its introduction. The color and the multitude of blooms is a garden focal point. If you aren't yet growing this one, you should give it a try.
